From freelance to full-time: Andre's story

By Andre Bennett · April 2026

For years I took whatever work came through word of mouth. Some of it was great. A lot of it was chasing invoices and explaining what I do to people who'd already decided what they'd pay.

Putting the work in one place

When I finally put my projects in one place, with real screenshots and real numbers, something changed. People stopped asking me to justify my rate and started asking when I could start.

I stopped chasing work and started choosing it.

The role I wanted

The full-time role I have now came from a company that found my profile, looked at the banking work, and reached out. Same timezone, work I'm proud of, and no more chasing invoices. If you're on the fence about featuring your work, this is your sign.
